3. Traditional Assessment Task R E - DESIGNED A SSESSMENT T ASK GRASP Goal: The goal is to propose a sustainable management strategy to help Indonesia, which is facing massive deforestation problem to improve her situation and to ensure that the strategy does not compromise your country’s interest. Role: You are a delegate from an ASEAN state. As an ASEAN delegate, you need to propose a management strategy on behalf of ASEAN and to assess the recommendations of other delegates to ensure that your country’s interest is sufficiently addressed. Audience: The target audience is delegates from other ASEAN states.. Your job is to prepare a draft declaration and to obtain the consensus from other delegates on your recommended ASEAN’s stand on the issue. This means adopting your draft declaration, or to adopt the declaration most aligned to your country’s interest.

4. Traditional Assessment Task R E - DESIGNED A SSESSMENT T ASK GRASP Situation: One month ago a severe forest fire in Indonesia has resulted in a host of regional haze problems. The local authorities found out that the forest fire arose because farmers were using slash- and-burn techniques to clear the forest for farming, while previous forest fires were caused by timber and plantation companies burning land for their estate. The haze problem has resulted in business losses amounting to millions of dollars. It has also caused rise in health problems such as asthma, chronic lung diseases and eye irritations. The forest fire has disrupted the ecosystem and led to the destruction of habitats for flora and fauna. It has also affected the air traffic and tourism in neighbouring ASEAN countries. Thus, the ASEAN countries have decided to convene a Conference to discuss about their recommendations for Indonesia. Product, Performance and Purpose: You will create a position paper for the issue based on your national interests. This is to be submitted to the ASEAN Secretariat, but it will not be disclosed to other delegates. You will draft an ASEAN declaration based on your country’s stand on the issue. You will follow the parliamentary procedures for ASEAN and engage in debate with other delegates on selected draft declarations throughout the Conference.

11. Designing our task: Our considerations Task, physical context, social context, assessment form, results and criteria Exponential growth of knowledge and limited school time Disjuncture between requirements of schooling and work Possibilities offered by authentic assessment Stages of backward design Stage 1: identify desired results Stage 2: determine acceptable evidence Stage 3: plan learning experiences and instruction Constructing a Performance Task scenario using GRASPS Understanding by Design Curriculum Integration 5 Dimensions of authenticity Assessment objectives (syllabus) 21 st CC Geography: AO 1: Knowledge AO 2: Critical understanding and constructing explanation AO 3: Interpreting and evaluating geographical data Social Studies: AO 1: Knowledge AO 2: Constructing explanations AO 3: Interpreting and evaluating given information

12. Most importantly… our learners! Subject area. Geography/Social Studies. Grade level. Secondary 3. Topic. Natural Vegetation. (ASEAN) Learning goals/objectives. Students will be able to: describe the global distribution and characteristics of tropical rainforests and mangroves, tropical monsoon forests and coniferous forests compare the ways in which different types of natural vegetation adapt to the environment discuss the uses of forests explain the causes of deforestation in a tropical rainforest discuss the problems caused by deforestation evaluate the effectiveness of sustainable management of tropical rainforests (insert learning goals related to social studies)

13. Stage 1: Identifying Desired Results Big Idea. Interdependence. Essential Questions. How does man’s actions affect the physical environment? How does changes in the physical environment affect mankind? Why is sustainable management of the physical environment important for mankind? Why do certain types of natural vegetation only grow in certain areas? Essential Understandings. Man and his physical environment are mutually dependent; Changes in the physical environment affects the lives of man; man’s actions also changes the physical environment. Natural vegetation adapts to the physical environment in which they are situated. The physical environment is also affected by the natural vegetation. Interdependence does not guarantee cooperation.
